Hi all,
Just went to a friend’s house to help him create a NAT rule for his PC. To verify that my work was correctly done, we used a website that offer port scanning feature to check the port was accessible from the internet. When i got home i updated my firewall firmware to the latest version. At the same time i thought i would try the IDS in the Zyxwall.
So i have created since a long time ago ADP (or IDS) rules. (this is not the running rules, dont worry
I have much more restrictive settings)
I went to the web site that do port scanning http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/result/ and started a port scan of port 0 to 65000. I then found the bellow entries in my Zyxwall
Showing that the scan is blocked !
So the ADP feature in the Zyxel zyxwall works !!
Feel a lot safer now
As an example i can show you this screenshot from the scan report showing that port 443 is closed, but it is open for everyone else except the bad source !
Trying to register my Iphone to my PBX i got this error message :
Detecting it as a port scan !!! Hmm…… Maybe i am to secure ????
For anyone that has not yet updated to version 3 i can recommend doing so. At a first look it seem much quicker interface and more features to the ADP.
